Go and see a Broadway musical, spend a night in Times Square, walk back and forth on the Brooklyn Bridge, enjoy an afternoon of shopping on Fifth Avenue or feel like a broker on Wall Street, these are some of the things that you can only do in New York.
Boston is the cradle of the American nation and at the same time the "most European city" of the USA; home to prestigious universities and state of the art hospitals of the current times. All this translates into a very intellectual, cultural and politically rich community. We cannot forget the sports field (home of the Red Sox and Boston Celtics).
